Have you ever felt like you needed to be "perfect" to be enough? I have.
For years, I thought I had to be in control. I thought I could. I planned everything. I strived to meet every expectation. I anticipated people's needs.
In this special edition of You Never Know, the mic gets turned on me! Guest host Daria Huck leads a deep and honest conversation about my journey as a woman and a mom with a career, my move from a top bank to a startup, and the pressure to be perfect.
If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, fear of the unknown, trusting yourself, or navigating life as a woman, man, mom or dad — know that you are not alone.
Know that perhaps it's time to stop surviving and start thriving. To take a chance on yourself.
I hope you find this podcast meaningful and helpful for you wherever you are on your journey, and that it reaches you whenever you are meant to find it.
